Avoid if you want to have a conversation. Impossible over the blaring music But great service. Ahi salad is very good. Almost switched out the wasabi dressing but it was delicious! French dip good but could use more meat. read more

new ownership Never going back! We had been going to Azool's for years. Neighborhood pub for when we don't feel like cooking. It now has new owners and customer service is horrible! Ordered the prime rib special neither of us could eat it. Even smelled bad! Like some grizzly old pot roast with a bag of preserved seasoning. Told waitress who told owners who did nothing. Paid $75 for 2 sodas. Even spoke to new owners on our way out, they obviously didn't care. read more

I immediately liked the vibe, although I feel they should consider opening the front doors on beautiful days with some sort of screen system if allowed. My heavy friend struggled to get into the booths although if the tables at the booths were not bolted to the floor it would have been better :) Draft beer selection, ok, TV placement ok, Server was okay. We had our food in 40 minutes. Turkey Rueben sandwich w/fries and 1/2 rack of ribs........both were delicious! A neighborhood go to, they are what they are!!! You can trust me, I'm in the business ;D read more

Doesnt look like much.. But up north it is a good place to grab some wings and a beer or 12. They also have live music every now and then read more

I don't usually leave reviews, however, the food was so awful I felt I needed too. We Ordered a chicken dinner and it was served cold so the server took it back and microwaved it then brought it back out to the table ‍. We also ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and the chicken breast was half the size of the bun, wilted lettuce, soggy tomatoes and old off colored onions . I didn't dare try to send that back. I highly recommend not ever eating here, you could potentially end up with food poisoning based on what we were served. read more

fish and chips. was good. service absolutely horrible. waitress was rude and disrespectful. waited way to long to even get someone to come back to the table. I highly recommend to stay away unless you're sitting at the bar to just drink. They cater to there bar top not there booths or high tops. read more

Good atmosphere, good people. Way too much live music and entertainment. It would be great to see a band one weekend night and either have a DJ or let the customers run the jukebox the other night. Tired of seeing the same bands with the same setlist over and over. It's also recently been brutally warm inside in the 110 degree heat. I like to go somewhere I can cool off with a frosty pint of beer! Please cool it down with the AC and entertainment ! read more

Fun spot, great vibe! Food was great too. Definitely a returning spot for me. The staff was very attentive and friendly

Great place to hang out and have some drinks. Always a great crowd, and live music sometimes. All th food is awesome. My favorite is the Marcus chicken sandwich read more

Write this place off! Lunch was probably the worst of any meal had anywhere. arrived at noon and got order in quickly. Only bartender "serving " and SHE SUCKS!! OMG! The special was a damn BLT? And it took 25 plus minutes to get it. Steak fries were old and barely warmed up. Ketchup was a poor man's mix of tomato sauce and sugar...you could tell it was the cheapest thing they could buy based on texture AND terrible taste. So, service is TERRIBLE...food is Terrible and everything else was a crap show. Never coming back and you should avoid this place like the plague!!! read more

Absolutely is an awesome spot and a MINNESOTA VIKINGS BAR!!!!! not many here in AZ but this place is by far the best! Food is always great and they have a great variety of stuff on the menu and football happy hour specials. The owners Mary and Jake are the best, super friendly and down to earth. I became a regular in just a couple weeks read more

Azool Bar & Grill - Vikings bar!!!!!! - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

See all

Was looking for somewhere to watch the minnesota Vikings game while in town visiting and so glad we found this place! The staff was very friendly and ran some great game day specials. Made lots of new friends and will definitely be back next time we are in the area! read more

Went there because there was no where else available at the time. Very pleasant surprise. Good salad and service. I am not wild about the obviously skimpy dressed bartenders but they are incredibly good and pleasant. read more

This is a cool little joint with some neat decor and a back room with classic bar games. I wasn't planning on playing darts, but seeing as it took my group an hour to get our food, I give it a go. It even took close to 45 mins to get our appetizers and when we asked the waitress if our food was almost up, she gave attitude. I don't mind waiting if the service is good and the food is good but my food was not worth the wait. I got the plain burger- I asked for it medium rare and it came to me well done and a little charred. It was super dry. The only reason I'm not giving this place 1 star is because they have a nice drink menu and it's a cool place to hang out. But I will not be revisiting this place anytime soon. read more

As the covid closings were coming to an end (5/20) we were jonesing for some food not easily made at home. For us, that was fish and chips. Nice, big place which was obviously the local watering hole. Pretty sure we were the only people there who didn't know every person in the place (all sitting at the bar). Atypical of a lot of sports bars is they have a lot of entertainment options; pool, darts, pinball (I think), and other things to include what appeared to be a wall mount version of corn hole. The food was just okay. The fish portions were generous but had very little taste. It was nicely cooked with no mushy bottom. The fries were very disappointing being steak fries which I'm not a fan. Again, very little flavor. Golden brown crinkle cut or shoestring with some seasoned sea salt would have been my preference. read more

Been to Azul many times over the last year...food is good, but wait staff has become terrible. I try & account for Covid stress on staff, but this rude behavior has become a trend & mgmt must be aware, as it is happening in plain sight. Recent visit this week, server (Mary I think?) watched us sit, walked by numerous times, then when I asked (after seriously 20+ min) if we could be assisted, she expressed they were busy & our table would have to wait. I ordered drinks at the bar & got myself...not end of the world, no problem. Again long wait, asked her if we could order food, she barked that I had already started ordering from bar, so maybe I should order there. Definitely a trend here, service has been bad last three times, wont give them my biz again!! read more

This place is our favortie local bar by far. Everything else is big boring chains, this is an amazing place and LOCALLY owned by great owners. Idiots loke "Jean M." are the reason Yelp has become useless. She says how good the food usually is... where are all your reviews for the good food? One time you don't like the food and want to flex your politics you leave a 1 star review. This is a great bar that I frequent regularly, so much better than the chains in Norterra. Come have amazing food from the scratch kitchen, you won't be disappointed unlike the Karen.... I mean Jean. read more

GREAT PLACE!!! The staff is very friendly and the amenities create a fantastic ambience. For the last few years I have stopped by for a casual meal with buddies and the food has always came out well. That is with the exception of take out nachos, but that's on me for thinking it would turn out well. Shout out to Deanna, Brad, and Jake for always being awesome. read more

Ive been to AZool several time in the last 2 months. Each time, Brad has been a great bartender, and Lacy and Deanna have been great servers. Tonight, I was subjected to a different bartender = I think his name is Jake or Jared. He over charged me for diet cokes, he over charged me for Bud Light, and after questioning my bill, he got all hissy with me and became an asshole! He came out to my motorcycle and suggested that I had too much to drink to drive home... He clearly did not like my assessment of AZool, and wanted to take it out on me personally. I literally had to tell him to step aside from from my motorcycle in order to leave the establishment. I do not recommend any association with AZool. If you tip well... even on a regular basis... and yet question the amount on your bill... This asshole will take it out on you. read more

As a local bar it's great! Tons of drink options. As a restaurant, I didn't see many options other than standard bar food. We went elsewhere for dinner. read more

Used to love the food here and popping in once a week but something has definitely changed with the food, they should get new menus if they're not going to make the food correctly/as described. Done here. read more

Our first time here and we absolutely loved it! Patio was great and dog-friendly. Live music. We ordered the brat sliders and artichoke dip and they were both fabulous! Drinks were perfect! Brad the bartender was so kind and attentive. Our server, Shelly, was absolutely amazing - attentive, kind, and professional! Great experience and we will be back! Thank you! read more

Terrible service. I will never go back this place again. The staff was nice but the manager was awful.

the food was good, cooked how i want, but my server lexi was so slow on checking on me and making sure i had everything i needed. wouldnt recommend seeing her. read more

This resturant is located off the Carefree Highway and the I-17. Its up in the Carefree Highway, and is in a shopping complex with other businesses. My friend Austin and I decided to dine here after doing a drive down the carefree highway. Its a restaurant, with a bar feel to it as well. When you walk in, the bar is the center point of the resturant, and the seating boarders the resturant. When we were there, it was seat yourself, and we chose to sit in a booth. They have a nice menu of appitizers, including nachos, spinach dip, and a few other things as well. We were greeted by our hostess, who was warm and friendly. She seemed to have a good grasp on the menu, as we had a few questions about what dish to get. We ended up splitting an appatizer, which was a plate of sliders. They have two different types of sliders, one with sauerkraut, and one that is a french dip style. Since Austin and I couldnt decide which one we wanted, we asked if we could do half and half. The server said thats A Okay, and they did it at no additional charge. The server was really good about offering us all kinds of items. Things like booze, more food, desert, and even after we finished, she asked if I wanted a coffee with baileys! I passed since I was driving. I recomend this place if you are ever up in this area. Great full menu, and its easy to have a conversation here, as the noise level has never been a problem. Worth the stop! read more

I 17 was closed for an accident so we went to the nearest Yelp recommended place. We had a club sandwich and I had a glass of wine (non driver). The club was quite good and the house red was fine. We sat at the bar. Bartender/owner was friendly and efficient. Service was fast. read more

Apparently, there have been employee changes and I'm sure that Covid hasn't helped. I have enjoyed my previous visits in the past but the last three were VERY bad. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to just get a drink order in and then another 10 or so for delivery. Ordered a. Thai chicken sandwich and asked for the toppings on the side, instead received a nasty crispy piece of chicken drowning in a nasty sauce. I never touched it, it looked horrible. I instructions were simple and not followed. The waitress was more interested in closing us out to end her shift, rather to inquire about the food and the new employee never asked how anything was or bothered to see if we needed more beverages. Upon leaving, we noticed how unsanitary the booth areas were, as they were littered with remnance of food and spills that were never attended to, probably for days. There used to be some decent employees there that we enjoyed seeing, but the place has definitely took a turn for the worse. read more

I was denied service due to my political view, they served me and I paid for all my drinks. The next day I go in, I was told to leave 2 steps into the establishment due to the fact that I do not like the president of America I thought a bar was for sports and drinks, not political views. Was thinking about taking my company here as a treat but I'll never step foot in this racist establishment. read more

So I came in for a quick beer before heading home. After my beer I decided I wanted a grey goose dirty martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives. I should know better right? I asked the bartender if there was any chance they had bleu cheese stuffed olives because I really wanted a martini with them. She said no. The frown on my face must have put her into service mode because she said, "we have blue cheese crumbles.". I tiled my head to the side and raised my eyebrows and then...she said "I guess I could stuff some for you.". I smiled and off she went to the kitchen after grabbing 3 large olives from the bar. Service is everything. Especially when places are willing to go above and beyond for an "off the menu" item. Bravo Azööls, Bravo. read more

They have all the Sunday football games and it wasn't too crowded on Sunday at about 1pm. I didn't have any food, but the had a snacks menu and regular menu available. They did have a large Bud Light special for $5. Still mostly a locals joint, but at least I got to see my team lose again. read more

I had a few drinks and closed out with a nice enough bartender who ended her shift so i stuck around for two more beers and the manager or owner was nasty when all i had was a debit card to cover a bill for 5.75. She was really rude and made a point to shake her head,throw a hissy fit and not look me in the eye when she handed me my receipt. I still tipped a dollar.There was no sign or anything for a ten dollar limit on cards. She was just nasty.Glad i never ate the food at this place. Azools code a*******s read more

Wings and specials are great. Staff is super fun and highly recommend the staff for a good time

My roommates and I went to Azool Grill for Name That Tune w/ DJ Dave last night. It was the most fun we've had out in Phoenix since we've lived here - and we've been here for a few years! The trivia host was so good at getting everyone involved, the bartenders were awesome, and the crowd was super friendly. Look on their website calendar to find out when they are doing this event again and go! Looks like DJ Dave is there a few times a month. Thanks for the great time! We'll be back! #theoregonians read more

Azool Bar & Grill - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Love Azools! Great food, bands are always good and it's just a great place to sit and have a drink.

Clearly I made a serious mistake taking these reviews at face value and not reading the other reviews these people wrote. Clearly their idea of good food is not my idea of good food. Clearly some cross referencing should have been done. While I ate here twice - once at lunch, once at dinner - my experience was varied and mediocre at best. Lunch was the better of the two for a few reasons - I ordered it to go and I remembered to get my salad dressing on the side. The worst thing ever is over dressed salads and generic restaurants are infamous for it. This place is no exception because at dinner the next night I forgot and my side salad showed up a soggy mess. My marinara at dinner was cream based which is disgusting and also extremely over dressed. I would have been better off ordering no marinara and just the sausage and plain spaghetti noodles. Over zealous dressing fail. read more

Yuck. I wanted to leave after we got our water but my husband didn't want to leave. This place needs bar rescue. Food is over priced for what you get. I got the sliders for 10 bucks and nasty is the best word to describe. Burnt cheap patty with a slice of cheese. Nothing else.... I wish I would have went to in and out burger instead.it looks like a good place to get trashed and not give 2 shits about the world. read more

Azool Bar & Grill - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have to preface this with: Our expectations in the far North Valley are terribly low. That said, Azool is good by any standard. It's set up with the bar in the center, with old-style wooden booths along one wall, a fairly large performance / dining space, and a great patio. The servers really set Azool apart. They all know the menu, they're willing to bend over backwards to get you want you want, and they're always far enough away that they aren't hovering, but close and attentive enough to catch your eye if you need something. The menu is both modern and unpretentious. Everything from barely-grilled panko-crusted ahi sashimi over greens, to basic bar sliders. It's a brief menu (only a page), but it's the kind of food I actually eat. My one complaint is that they only have a handful of beers on tap, and aren't very adventurous with their drinks. Sometimes they have live music, and it's great. Just someone with a guitar and a good voice, playing good music. "Good" about sums up Azool. Everything about it is predictable, but well-done and enjoyable. Update: Went here last night, and they ran out of carbon dioxide for the soda. They ran to the grocery store and bought some bottled soda for us, and still didn't charge us for the drinks. Awesome service. read more

I wish I could comment on the quality of food, but the first 10 minutes were so horrible I couldn't even stay long enough to eat. Walked in with a group of five, including two children under 10, and immediately was overwhelmed by how absolutely loud it was inside. There were multiple TVs blaring and no one to greet us, but rather a bartender who screamed from over the bar to pick a seat. We chose patio seating outside in hopes of actually being able to hear each other speak. We get outside and our waiter takes our drink orders. Before we could even order for the kids, he said that they couldn't have their juice drinks on the patio. Weird, but okay, fine. We asked if we could set them down by our bags and the waiter, without any remorse, said no-- we had to throw them away or put them in the car. Already off to a bad start and we didn't really care to stay for more, so we gladly left. Sure, if I were to bring in a Starbucks coffee and sit down at the restaurant, I would understand, but these were KIDS with gatorades. Typically, the argument against bringing outside beverages in to a restaurant is that the restaurant wants you to purchase a beverage from them, but we weren't even given a chance to order drinks for them (which we had planned on) because of how abrupt the waiter was. And then not to even let us set them aside? Ridiculous. Rules are rules, but be courteous and friendly while delivering them, and maybe make sure everyone has ordered before you start barking them out. read more

After being 'regular' customers for over 2 years, we have now decided to end our visits. My husband had a horrible Cancer experience in 2017. When he feels like going out to eat we have stopped in here. As they have/had his favorite Beer. We were in just 3 days ago and they were taking the Tapper out that has his favorite beer. Not a big deal really. I asked an employee if that was the owner and she said; "yes". So, I went up to say I see that you're taking out the tapper for _____ beer. Could you maybe order some in the cans. He would like that. She looked at me like what the F. And walked away very disgruntled and non-caring. Me being a Restaurant Manager; I thought that was extremely rude. What should have been said was; "I can do that- of course". Or, "I will try". Neither was said. So, Mary you've lost some good 'regular' customers. We have even brought our neighbors' with us at times. We won't be back. read more

The food is OK, but over priced, crowd is 20's to 40's and semi-biker-ish, the service is all right, but the staff seams shady. I am not sure what is going on with the people who work there but we have a friend that lives nearby and I have (reluctantly) been to Azools several times. Once the bartender picked up my money then claimed he hadn't, asking me for more money, a few minutes later saying he had forgotten he had already picked it up. Another time the owner followed us out to the parking lot claiming we had not paid, then walked away before my friend could even respond. Going back in to clear things up the owner pretended like she had no idea what we were talking about. Another time we had placed an order, in a very short time something completely different was placed in front of us and the waitress very quickly exclaimed "Whats wrong? THIS is what you ordered!". Her response was very immediate and sounded rehearsed. I think it might have been a miss-order from one of her other tables she was trying to guilt us into paying for. We only go there because there are little other options in the area. Some times the service is average but we have are so many such incidents it makes me think there is something shady going on. My friend has said other local merchants have other such odd stories about the owner and restaurant. Normally I don't eat at chain restaurants but when I visit I prefer the Chilles next door by default. read more
